Buying British



Not that easy to buy British, as Dominic Pearce discovered. In an article in the Daily Express ( Wednesday 19th January 2011 ) it is noted that even Thames Water was sold off to an Australian Investment Company ( Macquarie ) in 2006.

Roberts Digital Radios make 6 of their models in South Yorkshire. The remaining 54 models are made in the Far East.

Marks & Spencer long ago stopped using the UK as a source for their clothes. Virtually every shirt, suit and jumper made abroad.

Hurrah for the Henry Vacuum Cleaner. Nu Matic the company that makes it is based in Chard, Somerset and employs 800 staff.

Dyson Vacuum Cleaners are now made in Malaysia.
